Name: Lukullus Adult Tins Grain Free: Pork
Brand: Lukullus

79.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Five tins built on named offal and muscle, all in our Excellent band. Hearts, liver, lung, rumen and necks are each listed, never pooled into a category term. The plant side is deliberately thin and there is no cereal.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat with more enthusiasm when there is offal in the bowl
Owners who like reading the actual cuts
Grain-avoiding households
One-animal feeding: the Pork names pork and nothing else
Rotation feeders, since only the meat moves from tin to tin
Large dogs, with an 800g tin across most of the range

Worth watching

Poultry left unnamed on the Poultry and Lamb tin
The vitamin panel shifts between recipes
An open 800g tin needs covering and keeping in the fridge

Against the range

Animals: Pork only; Two animals on every other tin
Protein, dry matter: 47.7%, the highest; 43.3% to 47%
Energy: 101 kcal per 100g, the lightest; 109 to 120.9 kcal
Pack format: 800g tins only; 400g and 800g on most others

The clean single-animal option in the range.

Every recipe has the same build: two blocks of named meat and offal, around two thirds of the tin, then meat stock and a short plant list. The Pork is the exception, a single 65% block. Hearts lead almost every list, with liver, lung, rumen, necks and stomachs itemised.

No cereal appears; potato, sweet potato, broccoli or courgette carry the little starch there is. Each tin has one named oil at 0.5% or 0.3%. Protein converts to between 43.3% and 47.7% of dry matter across the five.
